Changes were requested, and done now.

Thanks for the kind words everyone :D

I was asked to make the potato and the light a bit smaller, and IMO it looks pretty much perfect now. I thought it looked good before (and the proportions were as per the helmet pic) but it suits the image now with them being smaller.

Suweeet :D

I think the helmet would be better none pixelated. You can't identify it as a potato. But besides that amazing job!

Can someone portalize my avatar?


Here you go man, all done.

It's just a bit of a quick job, so I hope it's okay - but It's better than your red text paint job :p

I upped your avatars proportions to the new level and also put the Portal Logo and made the disc an aperture labs disc :D

Fixed the text a bit.

Version 3 - fixed up a few little bits and pieces, there was a sharp edge on the disc and stuff, now i'm happy. Was annoying me because it wasn't perfect before.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Figured i should get the spuds for Audiosurf, Meat Boy and Cogs seeing as i do own them!

Meat Boy was a pain, i had beaten it on my laptop but not the PC, and the save didn't carry, AND i had like no bandages anyway, so i had to get the 20 bandages needed for Meat World. Ergh.

^^ And my PC kills video cards. I have to wait 'till June before I can afford a new PC and therefore have to cope with the PS3 version. I hope Amazon UK's delivery is fast.



Should I find it odd that the PS3 version is smaller? Because I do.

No arnt 360 games always that size even if its disc filler. Anyone confirm 720p only on ps3 output.

Its hard to see it as a potato, but i think a drawn helment would look weird on heavily pixelated avatar, i had troubles with the same thing when adding the companion cube.

Looking at the Potato Sack bundle on Steam isn't that good for Mac users - the only game I'd want to play is Amnesia (have SMB on the 360 already).

This is just a comparison, I slapped out a non pixeled helmet for viewing purposes.

I think pixelised is better, but it made me realise that i need to fix the pixel one again.

Here is the updated pixel one.

great now youre making me doubt :p

maybe just the gold potato needs to be non-pixelated

ugh i dont know, keep on with the other requests man, youve done enough :p
 
I updated the Pixel one.

Needed to have the Potato pushed back a bit.

I think it's much better now.

Personally I really like them both, but the pixel one is better. It just suits your avatar better.

Sooner or later if you don't take the pixel one, you're going to end up with a non pixel art avatar, and it's pixel art you want so keep it pixelised :)

Plus, the Pixel Art version is quirky as well, like the lines in the helmet and stuff are sorta 'special' pixel art because it's just one or two pixels but gives you definition detail so keep the pixel one IMO.
 
"Follow the potatoes" just got posted as a comment on my one week old blog post about the first Portal.

That's ridiculous, haha. Are people literally searching anything Portal on the internet for clues? o_O No idea how they'd stumble upon my little blog.

I wrote a wee bit - here.

Mini spoilers, but nothing that anyone who's been keeping up with the game will be surprised at.

The game's awesome, btw.

Good point.

I'll PM completely with this now rather than doing in thread (except you can't PM with tags so I might just edit this post with any avatars and link people directly to this post rather than having pages and pages of avatar discussion.

FUCK I'M HYPED all this avatar making is just making my mind focus completely on Portal 2 and i'm going fucking crazy off the hype meter.

THAT COUNT DOWN IS GOING TO SLOW....

I'm considering going to bed and having a sleep to pass the time faster, but I am hungry and have more avatars to make.

Anyone who hasn't got their avatar yet, I'm gonna do it I just need to have a break for a little while. Will post them later on.

I'm so close to pre-loading this on steam in preparation for a surprise release today. I was planning to buy the console version when it releases next week but I'd be willing to buy today on Mac if I can be playing in a few hours.

WHAT DO I DO GAF.

Ive got an amazon pre-order. But steam!!!!
I'm SO tempted to cancel it and pre-order on Steam, if its gonna be out today.

I didn't have any games to get potatoes though :( Hope its not potatoes only or anything.

WE SO EXCITED. Hype overload.
 
OMGZ my pre-load download is 1.5 hours behind the countdown.

AHHHHHHHHHHZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this truly is a 'test' or 'challenge' that we have to complete to unlock the game to play early, it's like the BEST THING EVER, i love community interaction like this.

I caved.

Canceled amazon, bought off Steam - preloading.
Gonna be done in about 3 hours.

Infact this worked out better for me. It was payed for by my paypal credit. So no loss.
And even if it doesnt release today, when it does. I'm not at the whim of the Mail system. Waiting like 5 days after release for Dragon Age was torture.
 
Portal 2 PS3: No mouse/keyboard support

When asked about PS3 mouse/keyboard support, Portal 2's project lead Joshua Weier told the PS Blog: "No, unfortunately we don't do that. The whole game is built around playtesting, which extends to the hardware and how people use it."

He went on to explain: "We have people internally who played on the PS3 - we use it all the time - and we constantly iterated it."

Unlike other PC FPS games though, Weier says mouse and keyboard controls are necessary in Portal 2: "Luckily, Portal 2's not a super twitchy, complicated game, so we just focused on making a comfortable controller experience," he said.

I just don't understand this at all. Sony allows it. Valve has already built the game around mouse/keyboard. The game will have cross platform co op and steamworks. There is no competitive MP to throw off the balance yet still no dice?

Smart move by Valve, create more hype and more sales on Steam just by the ARG.

Yup. I almost never buy games off Steam, but I caved in too. Cancelled my 360 preorder just now.

Can you use the 360 pad on the PC and Mac versions?
 
Holy crap you guys. I've been able to contain my excitement, but if I keep reading "I'm ready" and "GIVE IT TO ME NOW" I don't think I'll be able to manage much longer...

My body is ready.[/QUOTE]
I was trying to get all the achievements for Portal earlier this weak, and I gave up because I couldn't do the gold challenges. I'm not good with twitch games, and from what I could look up, that's what getting "Least Time" and "Least Steps" Gold required.

I couldn't complete Portal 1. It was pretty difficult towards the end. I sorta gave up. :\
:eek:
Go back! It's still good. Assuming this was a while ago. If you need it, get a solution to that problem and move on.
